About Brandi
& Mustard Seed
Meet Brandi
Hi! My name is Brandi Griffin, my husband Adam and I are the owners of Mustard Seed Candles. We are the proud parents of Lillie, and Mustard Seed Candles is our family business. It all started when I decided to stay home with our daughter for a while, and the my creativity needed an outlet. As a candle lover myself, I want to make every candle special, and maybe even something you’ve never seen before. So a few nights a week, our Northwest, Tennessee kitchen transforms into a candle factory, where I hand mix and pour every candle and wax melt, Lillie helps label and box, and Adam helps manage the chaos that takes over.
Mustard Seed’s beginning
When we created this brand and business I knew I wanted to make something that was more than just another candle. Our faith is a huge part of our lives, and I knew I wanted to be able to share that love with everyone! As I prayed and thought about how to tie that into a candle line, Matthew 17:20 kept resurfacing. It states that it only takes a mustard seed of faith to move mountains - and that did it for me! We firmly believe that if we have faith and trust God, we can take big leaps of faith and get through anything. It’s been 4 years since we started this journey, and every moment has been crazy and wonderful! We have learned so much, and have loved the growing process, the people we’ve met, and all we’ve been able to accomplish together.
As a seed of encouragement, every product we make contains one small mustard seed - just to remind you that you don’t need a mountain of courage, you just a seed. We truly believe a single seed can change the world. We hope you enjoy our candles as much as we have loved making them. God Bless and go and be a blessing to someone else today!
About the Lillie Line
The Lillie Line is a unique Line that was created for our daughter, Lillie. We wanted her to have a part in this business and also in helping others. We decided to start small with a few floral scents, and it has grown to over 7 scents that she has a personal hand in developing. We also wanted to make sure we were servicing the community and allowed her to choose a charity of her choice to donate to. She saw a commercial for St Jude and asked if she could donate there. Luckily for us the hospital in Memphis is only a couple hours away and we were more than thrilled to help donate. In the last few years we have been able to send checks, take toys, and sponsor “No More Chemo Parties.” It’s been an amazing experience for us as a family. For every Lillie Line item purchased we donate 20% to help the kids of St Jude have just a little bit of normal as they face so much.
